Reading 1 Acts
5:27-33
When the court o!cers had brought the
Apostles inand made them stand before
the Sanhedrin,the high priest questioned
them,“We gave you strict orders did we
not,to stop teaching in that name.Yet you
have filled Jerusalem with your teachingand
want to bring this man’s blood upon us.”
But Peter and the Apostles said in reply,
“We must obey God rather than men. The
God of our ancestors raised Jesus,though
you had him killed by hanging him on a
tree.God exalted him at his right hand as
leader and saviorto grant Israel repentance
and forgiveness of sins.We are witnesses of
these things,as is the Holy Spirit whom God
has given to those who obey him.”When
they heard this,they became infuriated and
wanted to put them to death.

poor.or:R. Alleluia.I will bless the LORD at
all times;his praise shall be ever in my

is;blessed the man who takes refuge in
him.R. The Lord hears the cry of the
poor.or:R. Alleluia.The LORD confronts the

LORD hears them,and from all their
distress he rescues them.R. The Lord hears
the cry of the poor.or:R. Alleluia.The LORD
is close to the brokenhearted;and those
who are crushed in spirit he saves.Many
are the troubles of the just man,but out of
them all the LORD delivers him.R. The Lord

Alleluia Jn 20:29
R. Alleluia, alleluia.You believe in me,
Thomas, because you have seen me, says
the Lord;blessed are those who have not

Gospel Jn 3:31-36
The one who comes from above is above
all.The one who is of the earth is earthly
and speaks of earthly things.But the one
who comes from heaven is above all.He
testifies to what he has seen and heard,but
no one accepts his testimony.Whoever
does accept his testimony certifies that God
is trustworthy.For the one whom God sent
speaks the words of God.He does not
ration his gift of the Spirit.The Father loves
the Son and has given everything over to
him.Whoever believes in the Son has
eternal life,but whoever disobeys the Son
will not see life,but the wrath of God
remains upon him.

Second Week of Easter
Reading 1 Acts
5:17-26
The high priest rose up and all his
companions,that is, the party of the
Sadducees,and, filled with jealousy,laid
hands upon the Apostles and put them in
the public jail.But during the night, the
angel of the Lord opened the doors of the
prison,led them out, and said,“Go and take
your place in the temple area,and tell the
people everything about this life.”When
they heard this,they went to the temple
early in the morning and taught.When the
high priest and his companions
arrived,they convened the Sanhedrin,the
full senate of the children of Israel,and sent
to the jail to have them brought in.But the
court o!cers who went did not find them
in the prison,so they came back and
reported,“We found the jail securely
lockedand the guards stationed outside the
doors,but when we opened them, we
found no one inside.”When the captain of
the temple guard and the chief priests
heard this report,they were at a loss about
them,as to what this would come to.Then
someone came in and reported to them,
“The men whom you put in prison are in
the temple areaand are teaching the
people.”Then the captain and the court
o!cers went and brought them,but
without force,because they were afraid of
being stoned by the people.

Alleluia Jn 3:16
R. Alleluia, alleluia. God so loved the world
that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that
everyone who believes in him might have
eternal life. R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Jn 3:16-21
God so loved the world that he gave his
only-begotten Son,so that everyone who
believes in him might not perishbut might
have eternal life.For God did not send his
Son into the world to condemn the
world,but that the world might be saved
through him.Whoever believes in him will
not be condemned,but whoever does not
believe has already been
condemned,because he has not believed in
the name of the only-begotten Son of
God.And this is the verdict,that the light
came into the world,but people preferred
darkness to light,because their works were
evil.For everyone who does wicked things
hates the lightand does not come toward
the light,so that his works might not be
exposed.But whoever lives the truth comes
to the light,so that his works may be clearly
seen as done in God.

Reading 1 Acts
4:32-37
The community of believers was of one
heart and mind,and no one claimed that
any of his possessions was his own,but
they had everything in common.With great
power the Apostles bore witnessto the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus,and great
favor was accorded them all.There was no
needy person among them,for those who
owned property or houses would sell
them,bring the proceeds of the sale,and
put them at the feet of the Apostles,and
they were distributed to each according to
need.Thus Joseph, also named by the
Apostles Barnabas(which is translated "son
of encouragement"),a Levite, a Cypriot by
birth,sold a piece of property that he
owned,then brought the money and put it
at the feet of the Apostles.

Gospel Jn 3:7b-15
Jesus said to Nicodemus:"'You must be
born from above.'The wind blows where it
wills, and you can hear the sound it
makes,but you do not know where it comes
from or where it goes;so it is with everyone
who is born of the Spirit."Nicodemus
answered and said to him,'How can this
happen?"Jesus answered and said to
him,"You are the teacher of Israel and you
do not understand this?Amen, amen, I say
to you,we speak of what we know and we
testify to what we have seen,but you
people do not accept our testimony.If I tell
you about earthly things and you do not
believe,how will you believe if I tell you
about heavenly things?No one has gone up
to heavenexcept the one who has come
down from heaven, the Son of Man.And
just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
desert,so must the Son of Man be lifted
up,so that everyone who believes in him
may have eternal life."
